Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Adds Even More Characters To Its Roster

As we all know, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will have an enormous roster of characters. Really, that's part of the fun.

But apparently we're going to be able to hand out the smackdown with even more characters than we originally thought.

The ever-industrious NeoGAF forums did some data mining for the game and discovered a whole bunch of unannounced characters.

Several of them are essentially in-jokes. If you've ever wanted to see Lili's butler Sebastian (who has two lines in two ending cinematics) hand out some beatings, now's your chance. Similarly, if you've wondered what Bob looked like before he put on some weight to take down larger opponents, Slim Bob is here for you. Tekken 4 character Miharu returns in a busty outfit, an alternate Lee is back under his alias Violet, and Doctor Bosconovitch returns after not being seen since Tekken 3.

Most intriguingly, there's an "Unknown" character, although longtime fans of the series can take a stab at who she is:

It's unclear whether these characters are unlockable on the disc or will need to be accessed with DLC. Fortunately, as no characters will be paid DLC, everybody will get a shot at them.

Our Take: Really, it's just not Tekken if you can't feature a kangaroo in a ridiculous costume beating the crap out of some obscure character three times your age. In all seriousness, though, bringing back the obscure characters is half the fun of a game like this, and seeing them available is a hoot.
